Vanilla Chrome keyboard shortcuts (For OS X) [1]:

  Command-W: Close tab
  Command-Shift-W: Close window
  Command-L: Focus omnibox
  Command-Enter (In omnibox): Open in new background tab
  Command-Shift-Enter (In omnibox): Open in new tab
  Delete or Command-[: Back
  Shift-Delete or Command-]: Forward
  Command-R: Reload
  Command-Shift-[ or Option-Command-Left: Previous tab
  Command-Shift-] or Option-Command-Right: Next tab
  Space: Scroll down
  Shift-Space: Scroll up
  Command-Down: Go to bottom
  Command-Up: Go to top
  
Selecting and activating links with the keyboard:

  Command-F: Show and focus find bar
  Enter or Command-G: Find next
  Shift-Enter or Command-Shift-G: Find previous
  Control-Enter: Activate highlighted link
This is limited, though; there is no way to open a link in a new tab, and find starts from the top of the page (bug?).

Personally, I find it more efficient and ergonomic to scroll and select links with my MBP's trackpad. Scrolling is especially fluid with two-finger smooth scrolling. Gestures and the changes to scrolling have allowed me to forgive a lot of weirdness about Lion and Mountain Lion.

I was able to type fSfa to open that link in a new tab and then open this reply box. My hands are usually on the home row, you are more comfortable having them on the trackpad. The benefit of using this plugin over a mouse is that I don't have to position the mouse over the link; I just press f then look at it on the screen and then press one or two more buttons.
